Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Aimpoint ACRO S-2 red dot sight help with cross-eye dominance?

The ACRO S-2's large 9 MOA red dot provides a clear focal point for the shooter's master eye, allowing them to shoot comfortably with both eyes open. This is particularly beneficial for individuals who are right-handed but left-eye dominant, or vice-versa, making it a 'game changer' for their accuracy.

What is George Digweed's advice on focusing when using a red dot sight on a shotgun?

George Digweed advises keeping the red dot in your peripheral vision rather than focusing directly on it. The goal is to look through the sight at the leading edge of the target. Focusing on the dot itself will slow down your swing and hinder effective target acquisition.

What shooting technique does George Digweed recommend for driven targets?

For driven targets, Digweed emphasizes a side-on stance to prevent shoulder pull-off and advocates for 'economy of movement.' This means performing the correct actions in the shortest possible time to minimize errors and maintain a smooth, efficient swing.

What are the key benefits of the Aimpoint ACRO S-2 for shotgunners?

The ACRO S-2 features a larger 9 MOA dot and a reduced housing size, making it easier to use than previous models. It's an excellent training aid for beginners and a practical solution for shooters experiencing cross-eye dominance issues, improving target acquisition and consistency.
